The battle Of Chantllly was fought on Mon

the village Of Chantilly. The Confederates,
therefore, call this fight the battle Of Ok Hin,

The battle was opened with an attack bv

troops were chiefly those of Stonewall Jack

Popes army suffered greatly for want Of
supplies during the three days fighting and
Immediately subsequent. His cavalry horses
were especially used up. On the first day Of
September he wrote to Gen. Halleck: There
are not five horses to, a company that can
raise trot." In his official report, made
afterward, he says that on the morning of
Aug. 80, when the battle of Manassas was
fought, his troops had had little to eat for
two days, his cavalry horses nothing at all,
and had not been unsaddled for ten days. He
also complains bitterly Of the want of loyalty
to himself among the soldiers and officers Of
the Army of the Potomac, occasioned by their
partisan feeling for Mcclellan, whom Pope

despair because re-enforcements which had
been surely promised him did not arrive. He

and IN any event on those at Manassas juno

two days with only green corn and apples to
eat Many of them limped along barefoot.
Yet there was not straggler and they were
ready for fight
By the evening Of Aug. g the advance OF
Jackson's men were at Manassas junction on
the railroad which supplied Pope. A great
number of supplies was there, which the Con
federates destroyed after getting one square
meal" out them.
Hooker was at Bristoe Station, seven miles
from Manassas, and Fitz John Porter was at
Warrenton Junction, nine miles away, with
$500 men. They were the advance of Pope's
army. That general had become aware of
JackSOns movement and had decided to
march his whole army to Manassas and
Gainesville.

At 9 o'clock that very morning, Gen, Blu
ford. securing about with his cavalry, saw
moving clouds of dust" from the direction
Of Gainesville and Thoroughfare Gap. Long
street, with 10000 men, was already there,
thirty-six hours before he was expected As
for LongStreeet, he heard before he reached
Gainesville the noise of the battle that had
already begun between Sigels corps and
Jackson and then, he says, 1.-The march was
quickened to the extent of our capacity"
By II so O'Clock Longstreets line of battle
at Groveton was complete.
Hoods batteries were ordered into position
on the Warrenton turnpike Immediately on
their arrival.
Longstreet aud Jackson formed their line
of battle in the shape of blunt ' at Grove
ton on the Doth. Jackson was on the right
arm of it, Longstreet on the left. The dispo-
sition was a very advantageous one. Lee
complanded in person.
Pope had ordered Mcdowell and Fitz John
on the morning of the Goth. They were at
Bethlehem church. two miles away Nc
Dowell, being the senior officer, took on him
self the execution of the joint order He gave
Porter an order and pushed on to the battle
field
At this point begins the controversy which
led to the historic and interminable Fitz John
Porter case Mcdowell understood his order
to mean THAI Porter should take certain
road, where a large body of Confederates
were seen advancing. The words were:
You put your force in here Porter testi-
fed that he understood the order to be that
he should stay where he was.
The battle of Groveton waxed hotter and
hotter. Pope was still ignorant of the arrival
of Longstreet in the afternoon. But at $50
he sent an order to Fitz John Porter to come
I'D and go into action. Porter received it two
hours afterward He did not obey it, He
considered that he could not move his artil-
lery, and that. besides, there were too many
Confederates about there to risk it, His SEN

proceedings in reference to it are familiar to

Pope'> idea was to crush Jackson bv get
ting on his rear between him and Thorough
fare Gap, with one portion of the Federal
army, McDowell's corps. while the other
under Hooker, should attack him on the east
coming from Centreville. At that time
Pope supposed Jackson to be retreating back
through Thoroughfare Gap.
But Jackson was not retreatinr Long
street was close at hand, ready to join him
Furthermore, Popes own army had not
come to time as expected. Fitz John Porter
had been ordered to join Hooker at Bristee

arrived six hours late. Meanwhile the same
day, Aug. %, at Manassas Junction, seven
miles away, there was hot skirniSh. Some
New Jersey troops under Gen. Taylor hai
been ordered to rescue the stores there They
were driven off with half their officers killed
or wounded. Gen. Taylor himself WAS
killed. At Bristoe Station, the same day too,
Hooker made al attack on Ewell, who fell
back toward JackSon'S main army, unpur-
sued.

He started Ewell and Hill off northeast with

same time he put his main army swiftly and
quietly on the march back from Manassas
porthward, in the direction in which he knew
Longstreet was advancing. Ewell and Hill
went as far northeast as Centrevile within
twenty miles of Washington. Then they
suddenly turned west and reioined Jacksons
